Eep.
This week went by so dang fast! I am also a little stressed that we are already in double digits for May. I need more time. I need that upside-down smile emoji to add here. Or one that says "help."
How was your day?
We had an amazing day for the field trip. I get such a kick out of helping the kids find things in the forest. It's easy to tell who has spent a lot of time outside and who is more tentative. Those kids are the ones I enjoy helping the most, the ones who aren't sure they want to turn over the rock or log. At the same time, I really get a kick out of working with the kids who want to know about everything. I am working on getting more desensitized to the large millipedes. I still won't touch them but I don't mind seeing them and showing them to the kids. It's a big step for me because when I was a kid, I disliked anything that had no legs or lots of legs. (My mom is terrified of all bugs/nature critters so I didn't get a lot of exposure when I was a little- that changed when I started teaching/met Gary who did a lot of camping as a kid/had my own kids).
Anyway, my coworker was holding a millipede and I made sure I got close enough and asked questions and all that good stuff. I think -- 95% sure- that if I saw one on my own, I would be ok to handle it. Maybe 95% is overselling. I'm 85% sure I could do it.
I got a great compliment from my coworker who thinks I would be able to lead this rotation on my own
Scott was in the area at dinner time and took his break here. I forgot to ask him some questions about a b-day gift idea from my mom. I'll have to bug him later today. I was happy that we were sitting at the table for a long time, my hummingbird made an appearance and I got all giddy. tee hee!
I am off to clean for my friend today and then I really, really want to do some scrapping. I have only done two pages this month and looking at the HAPS this morning made me want to do *more.*
Have a very happy day!!
